I would say i think the Britpop derision is a bit unhealthy, hypocritical for some even - i'd include myself in that. I remember picking up the MM/ NME in 94/ 95 and 96 and shaking my head - how utterly wrong-headed they were each week.
The britpop/ladrock that i refer to, that stank of trad retro-isms: Shed 7, Cast, Bluetones, OCS, Oasis, Kula Shaker, Supergrass, Dodgy and Paul Weller. The two media henchmen: Lamacq and Chris Evans were responsible for the utter mess. What fucking annoyed me was the overwhelming suffocation of NME, MM and music on TV at the time - that music revolved around a bunch of shitty conservative trad retro bands peddling melodic songs crap. every thursday on Radio 1 at 9 - 10 - essential listening in 1995. Re: Or was there simply better music from the time? (Name them)3įor starters 94-96 īark psychosis, laika, o'rang, scorn, techno animal, The aloof, tricky, anaethma, slam, underworld and the year of 1995: jungle music one of most exciting British music cultures of alltime - was in full flow - the NME and MM virtually ignored it, apart from the odd column from Simon Reynolds.
